Author Wants Paxil Withdrawal Victims' Stories

In response to a post I did the other day on a bunch of British patients taking on the MHRA (Brit FDA) over how it handled the many problems with Paxil (Seroxat over there), I heard from a legit author who wrote:

"I'm writing a book about Paxil Withdrawal stories. I believe we can all see from this audio that there is not going to be any progress made by trying to 'reason' with MHRA so the only hope we have is to educate the GP's, psychiatrists, etc and get them to stop prescribing this drug needlessly. If you have a story regarding Paxil Withdrawal or suicide regarding Paxil withdrawal, please send it to my e-mail hart.shelly@yahoo.com.
"I'm a registered nurse married to a doctor of medical research/ public health director for the state of Arizona. We can make a difference by educating the public and the health care professionals. The organizations are completely unreasonable and unbendable. It is time for the general public to speak out and save the lives of others in the future. You might say it is time to 'pay it forward.'"

The author, Shelly Hart, and I have corresponded some today and I am beginning to understand why I am getting so many readers from Arizona: they even have three-year-olds on Paxil in Tucson. Wow, what doctor put a three-year-old on Paxil for what alleged disorder?

Anyway, those of you who are interested in helping out Hart should drop her an email at the above address.

Comments

I noticed there is another "Rosie" who comments on Furious Seasons, so I will now start using "Rosie C."

There are 19 Paxil Withdrawal cases on www.SSRIstories.com

So 19 of these tragedies made it into the media where SSRI Stories was able to pick it up. There are currently 2,278 tragic cases on www.SSRIstories.com/Index.php Of these 2,278 cases, 42 of them are school shootings/incidents.

Please help! What about the one's the closest to the withdrawer. It's not so much the withdrawing forever but the belief and stubborness to believe he's doesn't need it. Its on and off and at half the dosage because of a previous prescription prescribed with the Paxil that he is not taking at the time. My question is what do I do in the meantime to suck it up until I figure out something to do. He is completley in denial that he is doing anything wrong and his life is a shambles and I'm the one crazy. This is the first site I have visited and feel better already but I am completely ignorant of prescription drug abuse and/or MISSUSE! He's completely out of it. (Reality)
